You’re not wrong. It’s almost a karma teaching. I think Jesus was messing with the Pharisees in telling this tale, both the Pharisees of his day and ours. Also, how curious it is that Jesus names one of the dead men Lazarus. We readers know about another Lazarus who would visit the realm of the dead for four days. But Jesus’ audience then had no idea. Was Jesus setting up for that moment?
